Meta’s multi-billion-dollar bet in artificial intelligence (AI) startup Scale AI is official. The startup announced receiving a “significant investment” from the social-media giant. Rumors regarding the investment have been doing the rounds since the start of the week.

Data-labeling firm Scale AI confirmed on Friday that it has received a "significant" investment from Meta that values the startup at $29 billion.

Wang will remain involved with Scale AI as a board member and is expected to bring several employees with him to Meta. He has led the company since co-founding it in 2016 to supply high-quality labeled data—sourced through human contractors—for training A.I. systems.
